Poll: Did the refs miss a crucial foul on Charleston's late 3-point miss?

SAN DIEGO, CA - MARCH 16: Joe Chealey #13 and Grant Riller #1 of the Charleston Cougars react after their 58-62 loss to the Auburn Tigers in the first round of the 2018 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament at Viejas Arena on March 16, 2018 in San Diego, California.

Auburn narrowly escaped defeat against Charleston on Friday, but it wasn't without a shred of controversy.

The Cougars kept things close until the end and had a chance to tie the game in the dying seconds on a 3-point attempt from Grant Riller. However, the shot came up well short after being contested by Tigers guard Bryce Brown.

No foul was called on the play, but upon further inspection, it appeared Brown may have clipped Riller's elbow on his block attempt. Had a foul been called, Riller would have had the opportunity to make three consecutive free throws that could have forced overtime.

You be the judge. Was Charleston the victim of a missed call?
